Sugarloaf Mountain Ranch

Descriptions

The 55-acre Sugarloaf Mountain Ranch is located just outside the scenic mountain town of Beulah, which occupies a tranquil farming valley next to the San Isabel National Forest. Wooded, with numerous open meadows and existing trails, this property gets abundant game traffic, including deer, elk, turkey, and bear, and offers unmatched, easily accessible hunting opportunities.

Land

The property also offers outstanding views of Beulah Valley and the surrounding mountains, as well as several possible home sites, should a buyer choose to build. Alternatively, the property can be subdivided (per county regulations, A3-zoned lots may be as small as 1 acre). Sugarloaf Mountain (6,548) itself is inside the property; a new owner could potentially generate cash or tax benefits by selling a conservation easement, protecting the mountain from development, while preserving development rights for the remainder of the property. The potential also exists to generate hunting income, charging hunters for access to this parcel. Utilities (San Isabel Electric, Beulahland Communications for phone/internet) are at the property line, and the parcel meets the acreage requirement for a domestic well permit, although municipal water is at the property line, and may also be available. Access is via a quiet, paved, publicly maintained road, and the services and amenities of town are just minutes away. This is an outstanding candidate as an investment property, income-generating property, or recreational property, or as a site for one or more homes.


Location

Sugarloaf Mountain Ranch is located in scenic, far western Pueblo County, defined by forest, canyons, and mountain views. The small town of Beulah (pop. 800) is immediately at hand, with groceries, gas, restaurants, a school, and a fire department. Pueblo (pop. 112,000) is just 21 miles east, and is home to CSU-Pueblo, two major hospitals, and the services of a small city. Colorado Springs (pop. 500,000+) and the COS airport, offering nonstop service to destinations throughout the country, are 70 miles north via I-25.
